A growing boy!

Matthew weighed twice his birth weight at his 4 month appointment and had grown 6 inches. He is in the 90th percentile for weight for his age. He really likes his mommy's milk, I guess! Now he has started eating rice cereal. He's still getting used to eating with a spoon and sitting in his high chair. He gets confused sometimes and tries to eat his bib, but he'll learn.

Matty is addicted to swaddling. He sleeps all wrapped up like a burrito and has been doing so since he came home from the hospital. The nurses there showed us how to do it and I was encouraged by our friends to continue doing so. And to read the book "Happiest Baby on the Block" which describes why you should do this in the first 3 months. He is now 41/2 months and connot seem to be weened off. We tried it one night and he woke up almost every hour. Needless to say he was not the happiest baby on the block that day, nor was I the happiest mommy. I may have to swaddle him the rest of his life, if that's the result we get from not doing it. Oh, I hear him crying now. I'll have to write more later. Check out his new pictures in the shutterfly website. Click on this link or copy and paste it into your browser. http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeANWbhi5aMXDvg . I should learn how to get the pictures directly on my blog, but that hasn't happened yet. I guess I don't have the patience, time or priority to learn how. This works for now, right?
